If that restriction was enforced recently, it does not apply to users who registered accounts long time before like you. At least they have to inform you about that and give you window time to withdraw your fund from their casino.

With guests and new users, they must deploy geo-restriction notification to them, so that there will be no new user breaks geo restriction without awareness of their not allowed registration. Lacking of such important notification, and blocking user account and fund later, will damage reputation of Casinopunkz.io casino and they should avoid it.

Your suggestion can help them to avoid that risk for their business reputation.

I have managed to earn $20 once in one of the contestants in the games and round board, though it was for bitcoin price predictions which requires you to do your analysis on price before giving your prediction but I still think I was just lucky to have being among the participants that won because we were many participants and it can't be that I was just too good with my analysis. Afterwards I have been participating in many others in that board but not won again, but I haven't lost hope on continuing.

They seems to be under the same company, if we check the license of casinopunks by anjouan gaming, it shows that the company name is Star Bright Media SRL.
On the other side, we can see the same company on the bottom page of betpanda that's why the terms on both casinos can be said as the same from the beginning.
Anyway, have you asked them about your current situation because your country was not on the restriction list when you registered but it is now added on the list?
I mean are they still allowing you to play or they inform you that you are no longer allowed to be their players due to the update of the restriction list?

I haven't asked about it to their support. The Casinopunkz team will obviously highlight their terms to me whenever they will take any steps against me. So, it doesn't matter whether my country was on the restricted list or not when I created my account. They will follow the current terms. Moreover, I don't know whether my country was listed as restricted country there from the start or not. I was able to play with deposits while I belong to restricted jurisdiction according to their terms.

Regulatory shift may happen and I think the account my get froze due to those restrictions and worse funds might also got froze if the user will experience bad faith.

But they can reach up to the support towards those situation happened since for sure they are aware on those changes and give chance their user to withdraw their funds if there are balance left on their accounts.

Also it will be good if they have that automatic notification towards the changes happening so that their players would be aware about the situation happen so they can do some action before they encounter any problems related to that matters on their casino.

No, I don't think so. A regulatory shift doesn't mean immediately freezing your account. If during registration your country wasn't in the restricted list but later they add it. Then they should give you time to withdraw your winnings. This is what every casino should do since they have to follow the regulations, and users have to get back their funds as well.

Exactly what I stated above. This isn't a chance; this is the users' right, and they have to notify users regarding the issues. Like Exchange, notify users during the delisting of a coin, and even after delisting, users could withdraw their funds.

They have to send mail to all users who are going to be added to restricted jurisdictions. This isn't really a simple thing to add a country to their restricted zone. The user should know prior to adding to the list.

It looks like my country has been listed as the restricted country on both platforms since the beginning. I have only noticed it recently. I didn't check the restricted countries list in their terms during registration as I have rarely found any casinos where my country is listed in the restricted jurisdiction. The list of restricted countries is quite big at Casinopunkz compared to most other casinos. But the strange thing is that they don't have the geo-blocking system available.

I agree on this important concern that Casinopunkz should imposed geo-blocking system to avoid restricted user unintentionally opening an account while they shouldn’t just because they can access the casino with normal IP.

I do commit same mistakes for not reading the ToS before I create an account because I rely on geo-blocking of the casino.

I will try to suggest this to the live support as new feature of the casino to avoid problems for some user.

A casino having the geo-block feature is a clear indication that they are not trying to intentionally deprive gamblers of their win with the excuse of gambling from a restricted location. Some gamblers may never have the idea that their location is considered a restricted one, maybe because they failed to go through the casino terms and services to know where gambling is permitted, while others simply failed to follow up with updates on the casino to know if their location has been included among the list of restricted areas.

It is a player's responsibility to find out if their location is permitted to gamble on a platform, but I feel casinos can play a major role in helping gamblers be aware.

I am not a fan of poker game since I don't gamble on it often but I will give it a try. I have friends that are good at poker games but I've not put an interest in it, maybe because I bet more on Slots and Sportbet. You must have been lucky to win free money from this generous casino that have the interest of the community. Keep it up CasinoPunkz.io, I like the energy and I will try to join too if I am given the opportunity.

Can you send the link to the Casinopunkz contest? Thank you!
